Champagne's previously published book, The Politics of Survivorship, discussed incest in the context of feminist and queer theories and psychoanalysis, her three main fields of study...
Recovering from this dead-beat track, Shaggy resurrects Mianite Lover with the song "Sexy Body Girls." The title is slightly sleazy and less than appealing to the feminist consciousness but the track itself makes up for any labeling deficiencies. "Sexy Body Girls" is real dance-hall reggae. This is Shaggy at his best with nothing but pure melody set against a background of intense drum beats with almost jungle-like heavy bass. The song appeals to everyone from religiously fanatic reggae fans to those who occasionally appreciate an obscure reggae track. No doubt, people are in for a complete surprise...

(And they say you can't amount to anything with a humanities degree these days!) It's easy to write this book off as another ridiculous anti-feminist joke that only makes men as a whole look even dumber. But once you shrug off your sensitivity and look past all the gratuitous sports references, you find real humor, good points, and most importantly, the honest truth--even if it is rendered by two middle-aged Boston townie...
